Why do we feel "more" anger on the healing path?
​
1. We don't feel more anger on the healing path. When we bring awareness to the body, we start feeling what is already there. The fact that we feel more of the suppressed anger doesn't mean that we feel more anger.
​
2. Anger is a reflection of the level of suppression in our system: suppressed needs, boundaries, truth. The more our system has learned to suppress, the more anger accumulated in our system.
​
The more you get in touch with your survival mechanisms, the more you get in touch with the underlying anger.
​
The suppressed anger is intense, dark, destructive and deep and is experienced as frustration, resentment, anger, rage.
​
3. By feeling more of the suppressed anger, we also have to make sure that our system has the necessary embodied resources to regulate the energy. Otherwise, we become more aware, but nothing integrates, which is disruptive.
​
There's a reason why the system suppresses the anger. It intelligently assesses that there are not enough resources to integrate the energy. To integrate anger, we need more presence, more embodied capacity, more perspective.
​
4. There's the possibility of feeling more anger on the healing path when we engage in healing in misattuned ways, dismissing the needs, capacity and limits of our system.
​
To integrate anger, we first need to change our relationship with anger. How can we integrate anger when we want to fix it, try to get rid of it, try to hide it, when we consider it too much or when we fear it?
​
We need to "look at" anger as
​
- wise
- a powerful source of information
- a guide
- an opportunity to attune more to our nervous systems
​
For more resources and insights on healing trauma and the nervous system, I invite you to check the book Embodied Healing via the link in bio.

Make this the season and year you put yourself first.

Take the LOVE you have for me
And radiate it outwards
Allowing it to touch and impact others.

Take the MEMORY you have of me
And use it as a source of inspiration
To live fully, meaningfully and intentionally.

Take the IMAGE you have of me in your mind
And allow it to fuel you
To take action
Seize the day
And be reminded of what is most important in life.

Take the CARE you have for me
And let it remind you
To care for yourself fully
And shower yourself with your own love.

And take the pain and GRIEF you feel
Following my loss
And alchemize it into
Love, compassion and beauty
Build a castle
From the wreckage of my passing
And allow it to unlock your greatness and potential
And empower you to become more than you ever thought you were capable of being.

And know that I can never truly leave you
And will always remain beside you
Watching over you in spirit.

And that the LOVE I have for you lives on
Through the connections you form
The kindness and compassion you share
And the future relationships and friendships you cultivate.

And until we are one day reunited
I will remain with you
Through the storms and chaos of life
And am always beside you
Walking with you, laughing with you, crying with you and smiling with you.

And I am proud of you for being strong
I am proud of you for being brave
And I am proud of you for being you.
